Specifically, the' County's pleading alleged that Emergency [ Diesel Gene'rator 102. "had passed tests witn a cracked engine block, and the NRC is not aware of tne crack." The County i pidading also alleged that "LILCO attempted to grind out the crack, but it was too deep and therefore LILCO decided the \\ l. crack is onormal' for the cast iron casting of the diesel." As r-1 s _the ittachedfAffidavit of Edward J. Youngling, Startup Manager for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station demonstrates, there are s xno cracks in the cylinder block castings which will propagate s !" a M~ or otherwise adversely affect the life or operation of the ~ l-( C32608017 830606 PDR ADOCK 05000322 O PDR ( u.
